Chapter 733: Before We Start, Do All Of You Know How To Swim?
After Herbology Class ended, Ethan left. Sabrina was left behind, wishing to immerse herself in the soundless screams of the Silent Mandrake, which had knocked nearly their entire class unconscious.
Right now, Ethan only had four classes to attend, which were Astronomy, Potions, Herbology, and Alchemy.
The reason why he only took these subjects was because he was receiving special classes from Professor Barret whenever his classes were over for the day.
And he wasn’t alone.
After arriving at the Coliseum of the Academy, the young man saw the other Elite students personally handpicked by the lingering Wills of the Founders of Brynhildr Academy.
Ethan represented Dud Manor.
Lily for Jaeger Manor.
Nicole and Alice for Eques Manor.
Luna’s sister, Rowan, for Schwartz Manor.
And to everyone’s surprise, Marvin for Terra Manor.
The First Year, who had just entered the academy this year, was chosen by the Will of Svend Terra. This was also why Professor Rinehart personally processed his enrollment to the Brynhildr Academy.
However, it wasn’t just them.
The other Four Pillars of the First Years of the Academy were also inside the Coliseum.
Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret deemed that they were also needed for this special training.
Joanne, Hecate, Lennox, and Heath had no idea why they were included in this special class. However, they would soon come to learn the reason why.
“All of you are gathered here today because you will play an important role in defending the academy against the threats that will come knocking on its doors,” Professor Rinehart said. “All the Kingdoms have already made an announcement, so most of you probably know that the Fomorians might attack the Shire Continent in the near future.
“However, it may not only be the Fomorians who would pose a threat to the peace and stability of our land. Brynhildr Academy was built on one of the battlefields where the people of the Shire Continent and the Fomorians fought each other to the death. We have won that battle with the help of our allies, but it has been a pyrrhic victory.
“Now, history might repeat itself once again. Although there is no guarantee, there is a possibility that we will find ourselves facing the Fomorians on this very land.
“Because of this, we have decided to train all of you and a few other elite students to help defend the academy if ever we find ourselves in a precarious situation.”
Aside from Joanne and Hecate, the other First Years were already aware that the Fomorians would attack the continent.
Even so, none of the academies in the Shire Continent planned to suspend their classes. With threats looming upon them, it would be most ideal to arm and teach their students to the best of their abilities.
The Combat and Spell Casting Classes had even intensified their training regimen to prepare the students for war.
“I will be training Nicole and Alice,” Professor Barret stated. “While the Headmaster will train Lily, Rowan, and Marvin.
“Ethan, I know that this is sudden, but you will be training Joanne, Hecate, Lennox, and Heath. I believe you already have what it takes to teach them how to fight.”
Professor Barret received a letter from Ethan’s adoptive father, and the two of them met in Limeburgh Town for a private talk.
Wallace had shared everything that happened during the school break with the Ex- Magistratus, detailing everything that happened to Ethan.
Professor Barret knew Wallace’s secret, so he took the latter’s words seriously.
And when he saw how Ethan fought against the First Years during the Initiation Ceremony, he confirmed that he had nothing more to teach the young man because he was already competent enough on his own.
The only thing that Ethan needed right now was battle experience, which Professor Rinehart planned to handle by giving Ethan special missions for the academy.
These special missions were similar to the missions that Henry, the Mage Slayer, took during his Third and Fourth Years in the academy.
This was also the reason the blue-haired young man was acknowledged as the Strongest Student in the Academy.
Of course, Ethan wasn’t the only one who would be given these special missions.
Lily, Nicole, Alice, and Rowan would also take them.
As for the First Years, they were still too young and inexperienced for these kinds of special missions.
“Ethan, I will allow you to use your Domain to train them,” Professor Barret said with a smile. “Don’t hold back, okay?”
“Yes, Professor,” Ethan replied before shifting his gaze to the four First Years, who were looking back at him with determined looks on their faces.
“Now, let’s not delay everyone’s training,” Professor Rinehart said before snapping his
finger.
Immediately, the Headmaster, Lily, Rowan, and Marvin disappeared from the Coliseum. Professor Barret also snapped his fingers, making Nicole and Alice disappear.
Ethan understood that the two Professors had activated their Domain and had taken their respective students with them.
Truth be told, Ethan still hadn’t seen Professor Barret’s and Professor Rinehart’s Domains. He was very curious to know what their Domains were like, but he also knew that he must focus on the four First Years, who were looking at him with expectations.
“Before we start, do all of you know how to swim?” Ethan asked.
The four students nodded their heads at the same time.
“Okay, let’s give it a try,” Ethan smirked before imitating the two professors and snapped his
fingers as well.
“Grand Aria.”
By the time the four First Years regained their senses, they only had enough time to realize that they were about to fall into a stormy sea, where giant waves were about to topple over
them.
Joanne immediately unleashed a pair of black wings to fly in the sky and avoid the wave.
Hecate, on the other hand, slammed her fists together before landing on the water’s surface, treating it as a platform.
A moment later, she sent a kick toward the upcoming wave, dispersing a small part of it, allowing it to wash over her without touching her body.
Lennox cast the Levitation spell, Leviticus, on himself and floated a few meters above sea
level.
Unfortunately, the waves still hit him, pushing him back and drenching his body completely.
Heath, on the other hand, transformed into a White Tiger. Using his speed and agility, he ran atop the water’s surface, evading and jumping over the waves that surrounded him. “Our training for today is very simple,” Ethan said. “All you need to do is survive for an hour. Flying is allowed, but for as long as you fly, you will face a monster that will make you regret
flying.”
As soon as he said those words, twenty giant Water Snakes, which the First Years had faced in the Coliseum, emerged from the sea.
But it didn’t end there. Dainsleif also appeared behind Ethan, and eyed Joanne and Lennox, who were using spells to fly and float above the sea.
Lennox, who felt the Ancient Wendigo’s hostility, couldn’t stop himself from shuddering.
This monster was simply out of his league.
But since all the boy was doing was floating, Dainsleif ignored him for the time being. The Water Snakes could still easily target the teenage boy.
His gaze then landed on his Master’s sister, who was looking back at the Ancient Wendigo
with determination.
“Don’t hold back, Dainsleif,” Ethan stated. “Even if she is my sister, make sure to fight her
seriously.”
“Yes, Master,” Dainsleif replied before turning into a black mist.
As if waiting for that moment, the twenty Water Snakes attacked the First Years as per the
order of their Master.
